WORKERS AND WINNERS.


Keep striving: The winners are those who have
striven
And fought for the prize that no idler has
won;
To the hands of the steadfast alone it is given
And before It is gained, there is work TO be
donA
Keep climbing: The earnest and steadfast
have sealed
The height where the pathway was rough to
the feet;
But the faint hearted faltered, and falteriug,
failed,
And sank dcwn by the wayside in hopeless de.
fessl
Keep hoping: The clouds hide the sun for a
tma
But sooner or later they scatter and fee,
And the path glows like gold to the toilers who
climb
To the heights where men look over landscape
and sea.
Keep onward-right on till the prize Is at
tanned;
Front the future with courage, and obstacles
FAN
BY those, and those only, the victorys gained
Who keep faith in themselves and the God

FLEET LOCOMOTIVES,
A Novel Experiment on the Southern Rail-
road OF France.


road OF France.
1t is within the recollection of young
men of this day that the horse which
trottcd mile in 2:40 was one of the
fast ones, and when talk Of steam
locomotive making a mile in a minute
was received with expressions of incred-
ulity. To-day the limit for a locomo.
tive is little more than half that ex.
pressed in the phrase. 80 mile n
minute. Engineer John Hogan, on
the Philadelphia 4 Reading Railroad
engine No. 1874, has driven it at the Ms
tonishing speed of a mile in thirty
eight seconds. Other engineers, with
Reading engines Nos. 2OG, All, 96. 81.
So and SO. have made miles in forty.
three and forty-fOur seconds. Hogan's
speed is at the rate Of over ninety-four
miles per hour; those of the others are
respectfully cighty-three and II half and
almost eighty-two miles per hour.
These high rates of speed were made
under circumstances all Of which were
favorable to successful test.
These are extreme limits Of high
speed for short distances. but locomo.
tive builders are emulOus to increase
the speed Of their machines SO that ail
average speed Of eighty miles per hou,
shall replace the old time limit Of sixty.
A novelty in the line of engine build.

Of engineers an! builders. 1t is loco

graduate Of L'Ecole Polytechnique,
which is to be experimental with on

EATING TOO MUCH.
A Vice That Was Mt Ono Time Cultivated
Among Different Peoples.

Among Different Peoples.
The testimony Of theologians, of his
torians and Of an immovable tradition,
embodied in most if not all European
languages, proves that among our re-
mote though civilized ancestors, it was
a common thing for men to cultivate
the appetite for quantities of food till
it became diseased, and that they
gorged themselves with it habitually,
till they became almost rs incapable Of
business and duties of life as drunkards
now do. They sought quantity, they
ate for eating's sake until they could
eat no more, and when they ceased.
were as incapable as many animals af-
ter similar indulgence. ct isa popu-
lar mistake to suppose that only pigs
are gluttons. Horses and cattle will
kill themselves with certain kinds of
food, and so will individual dogs, while
all the wild carnivores are liable at
times to eat themselves into temporary
imbecility). They could not work,
they could not converse, and they
could not think. They were full to
bursting, and repeated the feeding un-
til their lives became one long debauch
and their faculties died away as COM
pletely as if they had been
drunkards, though of course the
remedy, protracted fasting, was
easier to apply, Many of the
Roman mobiles were gluttons as well
as gourmands; indeed the accounts Of
their feasts indicate deep delight in
overeating as well as epicurism; and it
is probable that the vice existed in Sy-
ria, and amidst a generally abstemious
population-a Jew to this day is rarely
Il drunkarl, and an Arab never-,may
have seemed specially disgusting. An
other bit of evidence is the continuance
of the practice in the East. Men who
eat enormously, who crave for huge
quantities Of food and seek in over
eating torpor which pleases them as
much as the calm before stupcfaction
pleases the drunkard, or apathetic rest
the opium-smoker, or hef the tobacco
smoker, are perfectly well known types
throughout India (where every district
has its notorious glutton), in China and
and among some African tribes. In
deed, Captain Colville, in his recent
ride through Morocco, became con-
vinccd that even the Moors, who are
distinctly abstemious by habit, count in
their ranks men 10 whom overeating is
so attractive that they renew the prac-
tees of Vitellius. which scandalized
even Rome, and obtained by emetics
the power of swallowing two or three
successive dinners straight on end

SHIPPERS DISSATISFIED.
Talk OF a Boycott Against the Maine Gen.
tral Railroad.

BOsToN, April Ga Portland special
says; Although not an interstate road,
the Maine Central carries so much inter
stat freight that its managers issued a
new schedule of rates for the entire line.
Special freight and passenger rates have
been abrOgated.
Under the long and short haul clause OF
the law the old rates, at points where
there is water competition lower formerly
than the rates for shorter distance, have
been advanced fifty per cent or more. The
management has made general restitu-
tion of charges on freight, first and second
class, in some cases six cents per 100
pounds.
General Freight Agent Eaton says: "In
arranging the new rates We have the idea
that it would be as discreditable to try to
make the new law obnoxious as it would
be to evade it, We have endeavored to
make an equitable arrangement of our
rate under its provisions"
A special from Bangor says: 1.-THE
Maine Central's new freight schedule
causes great dissatisfaction here. Our
merchants talk of combining to establish
steamboat lines to Boston and New York,
and paper is in circulation among heavy
receivers and shippers, the signers Of
which agree to transact no business with
the Maine Central"

CHICAGO, April 6.-About fifty excited
men stood around the room that once
formed the headquarters OF the United La

and each trying TO out-talk his neighbor.
None of the leading candidates were pres
ent. Frank Dvorak, who ran for alder
man in the Sixth ward, came in and be-
gan denouncing the traitors, who, he al
legged, sold out the party and caused the
defeat.

and you are the only traitor. You tried
to drive your socialistic doctrines
down our necks. You showed us

in your red flag nonsense and we had to sit
still and let you rub. You forced every
nomination that was made on us in spite
of ourselves. You forced the the ward
nominations. and you even nominated the
country town tickets"
Dvorak muttered something that sound
ed like Doodle, when Temple turned on
him and yOciferated: % you, don't

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The ECening
Star tonight says: There have been numer-
Gus points in controversy between Second
Comptroller Maynard and Secretary En-
dicott. The Secretary of War has not In
all cases been willing to accept the decis-
ions of the Second Comptroller and has
tried on several occasions to have them
reversed or overruled in some way. There
has been conflict of authority, and Judge
Maynard has held the key to the situation.
Two or three months ago, Mr.. Endieott
wrote a letter to the Second Comptroller
in relation to the accounts of surgeon Bill
ings, Col. Ray and Capt. Wheeler, for
mileage while journeying abroad, which
had been disallowed, re-Opened by request
of the Secretary of War, and again dis
allowed, and also to certain ac-
counts of Capt. J. p. Rawles, Major
Smith and fuckers and Others. In the
letter, Mr.. EdicOtt announced that he in
tended to submit the case TO the Court OF
Claims. Judge Maynard wrote a sharp
reply to the Secn tary of War. He said
that the cases had all been settled and
the papers turned over to the second audi
tor, that the re-eXamination had resulted
in sustaining the decision reached In the
frstinstance, and that the matter would not
be reopened. As to the announcement that
the Secretary of War intended to send the
cases to the Court of Claims he calls at
tentiOn TO the fact that the cases are en-
tirely under the jurisdiction of the Treas

LONDON, April 6.-John Morley ad-
dressed an audience oc l,000 Liberals at
Victoria, South London tonight He
charged the Government with Rassianix-
ing the administration in Ireland, and de-
nounced the crimes bill as hateful in
strument of oppression. The measure, he
said, intended to Lay tenants at the feet Of
the landlords who flushed with triumph,
would be spurred on by their own needs
to harsh exactions. But the Liberals
would not desert the Irish people Time

horizon save what shown across the floods
OF the groat Atlantic. Now
they saw a new light neszer

to the westward alone, they looked 10 the
eastward, too, and they saw beacon Of
hope and sympathy from England. The
beacon would never be put out Mr.. Nor
ley's speech aroused unbounded enthus-
iasm.
At a meeting in Chelsea letter was read
from Mr.. Gladstone in which he said:
'Our adyersaries have Availed themselves

plead that il is personal affair, that Il il

and has resolved to call mass meeting 10

composed the greater portion Of the audi
